Default Oil/Fluid Leak

For the past two or three oil changes on my 08' M3 2.3 HB, I've noticed a leak going on underneath the engine. Just to the left of the oil plug, right where the transmission mounts to it, there is some type of oil leaking. Anybody had anything of the sort happen to them?

I have an APP. with the dealership tomorrow to have them look into it. I will keep posted.

It was the sealant on the oil pan casing.

Sealant? did they do anything to it? Why would the sealant come out?

They said they use a sealant for the oil pan instead of a gasket. They are repairing it under warranty, but they need it all day. I'm taking it back next week per my schedual. I'm not sure why it wore away so fast.
